Hi Does anyone know the allocated photographer for this venue? We get married here may 2014 Thanks

Hi lfcgirl88 Are the beaches nice? I've not been .... I've stayed in a Riu but not in Mexico. The el dorado's are lovley but we have 4 children in the wedding party and most of them are adults only so we chose the riu palace Mexico. Happy planning! Xxxx

I've got some wedged heals to go with my dress, my dress isn't heavy but it's got a slight train... So I was worried incase I'm too hot and it ruins my day. The fabric is organza so it's light, I've fallen in love with it - maybe ill have to get two! Happy planning xxx

Hi lady's! Only 10 months to go! Eeeeek! Has anyone got there dress yet? I'm worried I'm going to be too hot if I choose the one I want 😕 we're getting married at 4.30 and I'm hoping it will have cooled down a little for then .... Kat

That would be brilliant If you could! :-) Thanks

Flying from Manchester! *****

Hi! Me and my fience are getting married may 31st at riu palace Mexico We are traveling with Thompson/first choice and flying from Mexico Has or is there any other uk brides getting married next year? It all seems a bit to straight forward at the minuet.....any advice ? What documentation will we need to take with us? Any tips or advise would be brill Thank you Kat

Thank you! How strange? Suppose ill have to man up for the needle then....no getting out of that one! Xx

Hi I'm getting married on the 31st may 2014 at Riu palace Mexico I knew when arranging my wedding that we would have to have a blood test, Could anyone advise me why? I hate needles!!!!! Thanks Kat

Hi! I do actually want some fireworks...but was told I had to check with the hotel first? Do you know if they allow them at the riu palace Mexico? Could you send me some more info on what you provide and prices? Thanks Kat

Yes X

Hi Karen No I haven't ? Try and send again - had a few problems with email Thanks Kat

Hi jade I've emailed you Kat x

Hi Karen Thank you that would be brilliant If you could! The hotel looks amazing! Bet you can't wait!!!!! Are all of your guests staying in your hotel? Only 90% of mine are....others are in the Yucatan next door. Have you decided where you are having your wedding reception? I really want the beach! My email is [email protected] Send me anything you think will help :-D I'd be very thankful! Kat X

They look AMAZING, are they sparklers? Would I have to buy them in the uk and bring them over or could I get them over in Mexico? Thanks Kat

Hi mark & Elaine That sounds like a good idea I received my wedding co-ordinator details this week, I decided to change the time to 4pm rather than 3pm so the evening will flow smoothly .... I just sent her a email introducing myself and she changed the time for me - took 2 days to get back to me but I think it's down to them being busy. She told me about decoration coming at a separate price from the package and that she will speak to me closer to the time about it. I've had a look at the documentation, from the pack I was given from first choice - very confusing. I'm going to have a good read over it in the next few days. I asked about a privet dinner - I really want my reception on the beach ( fingers crossed for good weather ) and the fireworks look amazing! She said 30 + people to attend and there is an extra cost, but I may consider it. Have you spoken to your Wedding co-ordinator? Is it may your going? It will come round very fast!!!! Kat X

That's brilliant thank you I've asked for a later time, just waiting for them to get back to me. Do you think I could have fireworks on the beach? Would my wedding planner organise that for me Xxx

That's fab where are you going? And I know....I don't mind stressing now, aslong as I have no stress close to the time :-)

It's mostly family, and close friends...we did a large group booking and then everyone else just cross referenced our booking and added on....I think they are making it there summer holiday too! Only 90% staying in our hotel tho, some are next door at the yucatan :-) How come you have to fill 25 rooms??? Kat

Thank you so much, that's really helped :-) I think we have booked the royal package.... I just want the decor for the ceremony to look fab like some of the photos I've seen for other places. Photographer is up there on the top of my list so I'll have a look at the link you have sent! Thank you! One last question haha .... I have requested 3pm for my ceremony, but now I'm worrying it will still be too hot and thinking I should have asked for later.... What times do everyone normally go for? Thanks Kat

Riu palace Mexico bride 31st may 2014 eeeeeeekkkkkkkk

May 31st 2014 at Riu palace Mexico eeeeeekkkkkkkk! 30+ guests booked flying from the uk .... Sending out invites this week so could be more! Exciting!!! Kat Xx

Hi Hoping for some tips/advice. Booked our wedding through first choice/thompsons for may 31st 2014 at Riu palace Mexico. I can't seem to find any info of weddings at this hotel....loads on Riu place RM but none for this! Stress! Anyone booked or had a wedding here since it has been refurbed? Do they provide the photographer? How many guests have to be attending to have a privet dinner? ( I really want a beach bbq buffet ) and last question ..... Did you hire in people to decorate the wedding or did the hotel provide it all? It is part of my package but wondering if they provide good decoration? Thank you in advance for any help! .... Any photos, tips ..... I'd be very thankful Kat Xx

Hello I'm currently in the process of booking my wedding at the Riu Palace Riviera Maya and would like to know if anyone has or is planning a wedding here?

Any info would be brill Thank you in advance Kat
